After the great success of making a clothing iron grilled cheese sandwich, I decided to see if an iron could produce any other delicacies. As it turns out, it makes a mean quesadilla too. The iron cooks the quesadilla nicely, giving it a crisp shell that compliments its deliciously melted, cheesy center. This recipe is perfect for dorm cooking because you really only need two ingredients: a tortilla and some cheese (salsa and sour cream highly recommended). Whether you want to make one as a snack or a bunch for a dorm-style dinner party, this ironed quesadilla is a go-to dorm room recipe.

3. Place the tortilla on the foil.
4. Put the cheese on the tortilla and fold the tortilla in half.
